Image forming apparatus

1. An image forming apparatus capable of coloring a plurality of editing areas, said color image forming apparatus comprising: a recording member for recording a plurality of color data corresponding to a hue circle; determining member for determining a standard color; and a selection device for selecting color data corresponding to each of said color editing areas based on the number of said color editing areas, a number of said plurality of color data corresponding to the hue circle, and said set standard color.

2. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a detector for detecting closed loop regions of a document image, such that the color editing area is specified as a region detected by said detector.

3. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 2, further comprising: an image scanner which reads a document recorded on a paper sheet by converting said document to electronic data by a photoelectric converter, and wherein said detector detects closed loop regions based on said data read by the scanner.

4. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 3, further comprising: a discrimination means for discriminating an editing region containing a plurality of color editing areas.

5. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said determining member determines a standard color which is choosed of stored a plurality color data.

6. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said determining member determines a predetermind color on a standered color data.

7. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said selection device selects the color of each color editing area using the relationships of the aforesaid hue circles so as to avoid biasing of the color data used for coloring.

8. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plurality of color data corresponding to the hue circle are reproducible by the recording member.

9. A color image forming apparatus having editing functions for coloring a plurality- of editing areas, said color image forming apparatus comprising: an area discrimination device for discriminating the editing areas to be colored and counting the number of editing areas; a recording member for storing a plurality of color data corresponding to a hue circle; a setting device for setting a standard color; a selection device for selecting color data for each of said plurality of editing areas based on the number of said editing areas and said set standard color; and a controller for controlling the coloring of said editing areas based on color data selected by said selection device.

10. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein said selection device allocates the color data of the set standard color to one editing area among a plurality of said editing areas.

11. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein said selection device accomplishes selection of color data by allocating the relationships of the hue circle equally by dividing the number of stored color data by the number of editing areas.

12. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the selection device also bases the color selection on a number of said plurality of color data corresponding to the hue circle that are reproducible by the recording member.

13. A color image forming apparatus having editing functions for coloring a plurality of editing areas, said color image forming apparatus comprising: an area discrimination device for discriminating the editing areas to be colored; a recording member for storing a plurality of color data corresponding to a hue circle; a selection device for selecting color data for each of said plurality of editing areas based on the number of said editing areas discriminated by said area discrimination device and the number of the color data corresponding to the hue circle stored in said recording member; and a controller for controlling the coloring of said editing areas based on color data selected by said selection device.

14. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein said selection device accomplishs selection of color data by allocating the relationships of hue circles equally.

15. An image editing method for coloring a plurality of color editing areas comprising: a step of discriminating a plurality of color editing areas, and counting the number of said areas; a step of setting a color as a standard color; and a step of determining color data corresponding to each color editing area based on said set standard color and the number of said color editing areas.

16. An image editing method as claimed in claim 15, plurality of color data are selected so as to achieve a uniform difference in the relationships of the hue circle of each color data, when determining color data responding to each of said color editing area.

17. An image editing method as claimed in claim 16, wherein said color data is stored in memory in conjunction with the hue circle, such that color data is determined in conjunction with each said color editing area by determining the difference of the hue circle between adjacent color data among the selected color data from the number of stored color data and the number of said color editing areas.

18. An image editing method as claimed in claim 15, further comprising: a step of detecting closed loops in an input document so as to discriminate said color editing areas from the detected closed loops.

19. An image editing method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the color data determination step is also based on a number of reproducible colors corresponding to a hue circle.

20. An image forming apparatus capable of coloring a plurality of editing areas, said color image forming apparatus comprising: a recording member for recording a plurality of color data; a determining member for determining a standard color; and a selection device for automatically selecting color data corresponding to each of said color editing areas based on the number of said color editing areas and said determined standard color.

21. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 20, wherein the selection of color data is also based on a number of the plurality of color data.

22. An image forming apparatus capable of coloring a plurality of editing areas, said color image forming apparatus comprising: a recording member for recording a plurality of color data; and a selection device for automatically selecting color data corresponding to each of said editing areas.

23. An image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 22, further comprising: a detector for detecting closed loop regions of a document image, such that the color editing area is specified as a region detected by said detector.
